NOLA on Tap

The largest beer festival in the Gulf South is back for the tenth year, and bigger than ever. With over 400 varieties of local, national, and home-brewed beer to taste, this year's NOLA on Tap promises even more malt, hops, and wheat than your beer-soaked heart desires. As if all the beer weren't enough motivation, the event is dog-friendly and features food, music, art, other merchandise, and games. They even offer non-beer drinks, for any gluten-free friends who might be good enough sports to go along. In addition to providing a beer-and-fun-filled afternoon, the festival is a fundraiser for the Louisiana SPCA. Noon–7 pm.

General Admission is $5 ($10 day-of), with drink tickets at $1 each ($10 minimum) or a Sampler Pass at $30 (35 drink tickets), or even better, the Brewmaster Pass at $45 (40 drink tickets, NOLA on Tap t-shirt, pre-sale only). VIP admission is also available for $25 ($30 day-of), which gets you early entry, a koozie, and access to VIP tent. nolaontap.org.
